A new method for locating TCSC for congestion management in deregulated electricity markets

This paper presents the effects of thyristor controlled series compensator (TCSC) on congestion of transmission lines and locational marginal price (LMP) in deregulated power systems. The placement of TCSC is to reduce congestion in deregulated electricity markets based on the calculation of congestion rent. The main objective of TCSC placement is either to minimise congestion rent or to maximise social welfare. Genetic algorithm-based optimal power flow (OPF) algorithm is used to maximise social welfare for finding the best location and rating of TCSC and the results obtained are compared with conventional LMP method. A sample five bus test system is used to show the influence of TCSC on congestion and LMP in the electricity market and for finding best location for TCSC placement.

Electrical equipment in hazardous (classified) locations present a serious threat for workers due to the existence of explosive dust and vapors. Examples of such facilities range from grain mills and gasoline stations to aircraft hangars and chemical manufacturing plants.
To prevent devastating explosions that may occur from the ignition of combustible particles in the atmosphere, the National Electric Code (NEC) published guidelines on the proper classification of hazardous locations.

Employees inside chemical manufacturing plants are exposed to some of the most unforgiving work conditions in the industrial sector. This is because in such environments, workers are exposed to extreme temperatures, dust, volatile chemicals and invisible, explosive gases.
Common protection methods against explosive risks include containment, segregation and prevention. Out of all the options, explosive containment is the only method that allows an explosion to take place, in a confined and safe manner through...

Increasing water demands in light of limited water resources have intensified exploitation and drawdown of groundwater. On the other hand, rising water demand has accelerated wastewater production. Therefore, urban wastewater management via artificial recharge may play a significant role in aquifer management. While site selection for artificial recharge projects is a major challenge, fuzzy logic provides one of the most viable approaches for this purpose. Considering the high volume of wastewater production in...

This article illustrates how to locate leaks on cooling water systems in loud, industrial environments like Nuclear or Coal power generating plants without digging or putting anything inside the pipeline. Infrared-Energy Pattern Analysis (IR-EPA) works on all pipeline sizes and all pipeline materials because it identifies the water outside the pipeline instead of listening for leak noises like traditional leak detection techniques. IR-EPA is safe due to its passive nature and only monitors the ground surface...

Prove it? They can now! Landfill technicians and environmental consultants can now find and prove borehole locations with a GPS-enhanced portable gas analyser from Geotech. Its on-board GPS guidance system takes staff to the precise location of the 1000 it can store. It adds the GPS-received location, date and time to the gas analysis record. GPS locations can be added at boreholes or pre-loaded from surveys, marked maps or from another analyser.
For landfill operators, and consultants working on brownfield...
